formation light on german armor...?

Everybody,

My gratitude is enormous! Thank you, each and everyone, so much! I just can't believe i missed that part in the instruction manual. Tiny,....agreed but nevertheless very sloppy of me. No wonder i couldn't figure it out by looking at my models rear end

Richard

Or this.

Hi Pawel,

I believe, in this particular case, we're looking at the later blue tubular convoy light rather than the type that you have suggested above.

Howdy!

I'm no expert, but the german type light is pretty widespread around here. I found this photo on the internet:

Well on the top you have those four slots. If you see all four on the vehicle driving before you, you're too close. If you see only two, the distance is right. If you only see one, you're too far - that's how it works. I hope you can locate a similar piece of hardware on your tank, then you'll know how to paint it. Hope it helps, have a nice day

Hi Richard,

I haven't built this kit, but I believe the convoy light is the cylindrical part (D66) which is attached to the T-shaped structure of the bracket on the left fender. (behind the exhaust pipe outlet in your pic). Refer to step 14 in your kit instructions.  This tubular part should be blue.
